Strange how it never seems to be a Conservative name leaving Russian Propagandist lips outside the cases where the words are "We have no ties with that person/group/etc".

They probably tend to favour right-wing politicians more often than left given the alignment of many current right-wing politicians, but Russia is opportunistic. Their goal is often to sow chaos and amplify internal conflict within a target country and they will attack conservatives if that is the best path to meet that goal. This article even mentions that they had previously targeted Harper and Bezan, who are both conservatives.
Back then Harper was ferocious about Russia, he hated them. But more recently, he has aligned himself with Orban and he is Chairman of the IDU. Russia may have krompromat on him.
Interesting anecdote, I guess. Not really surprising that Putin would align with groups perceived as pro-Russian rather than anti-Russian. And that's really the lens to view it through. If you think Russia's goal is to advance Canadian conservatism, you're wrong. Russia's goal is to damage, weaken, and destroy its enemies. If they believe advancing the right works toward that, they'll do that. If they thought that advancing the NDP would do it, they'd do it without hesitation and it wouldn't be at all inconsistent with their support of conservatives. Russian propaganda is spread through both the far-right and far-left in Canada - and often they're just amplifying domestic conflict to force leaders to deal with internal crises rather than looking outward.
Yea I do agree. Guys like Harper and PP know tho and are in on it. For their own power and wealth. And I think it is why they are so scared of Carney, he may be one of the only guy in the world able to handle whats going on.
The man isn’t even PM yet
Can we push back against shitty fake news trying to make a crisis out of each time Carbey goes to the bathroom or steps on an ant?
HE STEPPED ON AN ANT?!
I heard he didn’t even say sorry. Smh
The site is now down. High Traffic or DDOS?
Maybe they should post some of their work on something like a decentralized social platform.
Good. We know we're in good hands.
